GUEST,Aoede Tune Req: Oran do Cheap Britain (19) RE: Tune Req: Oran do Cheap Britain 22 Feb 01


Better late than never.... Sorry for the delay.

This is from the liner notes to La Nef's "La Quête du Graal", Volume One.

Oui, je vis dans le malheur,/ je ne verrau jamais d'autre nuit/ que celle de ce soir,/ ni d'autre jour que celui de demain.

Je vais plutôt me tuer de ma main./ Des trois cent dix chevaliers/ dont était pourvu ce château,/ il n'en est ici resté que cinquante.

Ils ont étés emmenés par un très cruel chevalier,/ Anguingueron, le sénéchal/ de Clamadieu des Iles./ Il les a tué ou fait prisonniers.

Mais de ceux qui sont mis en prison,/ il en va pour moi comme des morts,/ car je sais bien qu'ils vont y mourir./ Demain, si Dieu n'intervient.

Ce château lui sera rendu,/ faute de pouvoir le défendre,/ et moi avec, en captive,/ et moi avec, en captive.

----------------- I am so miserable that I shall not live to see another night than this tonight, nor another day than tomorrow.

I shall kill myself instead. Of three hundred knights and ten who garrisoned in this castle there are but fifty left.

They have been taken away by Anguingueron, a most evil knight and seneschal of Clamadieu des Iles. He has killed or imprisoned them.

I am as distraught for those in prison as for those who are dead, since I know they will die there tomorrow, without God's help.

This castle, which can no longer be defended, will be surrendered to him, and me with it as his prisoner.

Aoede
